As far as i'm aware TDM and FQM Deluxe do nothing to any weapons or facilities

I think you're right.
Well, I'm stumped. Next!  |

Re: Point Defense Error
How many fighters/seekers are you up against? Maybe you've reached more than the game code can handle?
Other than that, I'm stumped too. Maybe you could sent the savegame to MM with a bug report...

Re: Point Defense Error
My guess would be that an image file has become corrupted. Could you post the savegame so we could take a look at it? This is a really weird error.

Re: Point Defense Error
Ok. This is the savegame.
1057520806.zip
Load the game, it should load in the Tyl system, there is the fleet at co-ordinates 12,6. take control and attack the planet at 11,7. Fight it in tactical and approach the engaging forces (the 2 drones and 8 fighters) as soon as you get in point defense range the error should generate. |

Re: Point Defense Error
Turn ran fine on my system, so I would say it is probably something wrong with yours. Perhaps a corrupted picture file as Fyron suggested.

Re: Point Defense Error
Congratulations Fyron (even though he took a random guess). You are correct it was a corrupted image file
A while ago i realised for some mysterious reason (unknown even today) that my game files reverted to Version 1.70. I had the Image Mod installed that allowed the unmodded game to use the image mods extra torps and beams. So i installed Version 1.84 and it overwrote the image mod torps and beams files. Thusly when it tried to fire the extra point defence beam it crashed the game.
So if anyone gets an error simmillar to this we know it's related to missing/corrupted picture files
Thank you for all your help btw guys. This i what makes this community so helpful and great  |
